This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

We've seen that many cash-rich companies are impotent in their respective markets.
Examples include Blackberry and Microsoft.
"I heard that Canada is feminized and boys and males are disadvantaged," J said.
"I wouldn't reply. My opinion would be skewed, right?" Ms. B. N. smiled.

Well, "pick flowers" is not authentic English, which was what I used to think it is.
It's an expression in Thai, instead! See http://thaitranslation.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/polite-v-vulgar-part-two-bodily-functions/ .

Nowadays I'm slightly disinclined to get social with friends.
I've got so many ideas over how to spend my time.

I still don't get why so many Canadians are so crazy about "nutritional" supplement PILLS, such as antioxidants, sold in PHARMACIES.
They are not natural, they are man-made pills!

"Chef my ass" and "chef my foot" mean the same thing.
Now you get what "ass" and "foot" indicate in English. And is it unpleasant to "put one's foot in one's mouth"? You bet.

Hollywood glares too much.
Personally I think tomes provide more substance than typical American flicks.

One of my close classmates at senior high school has got a moon face.
Well, here lies some confusion for me in English. It seems that being moonfaced is not a medical sign, whereas a moon face is. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_face .

Wrong is the supposal that the American way of life is always good.
See what you get when you grow old in the American society. And see what you lose while you chase the possession of more materials too much.
Well, speakers of Romance languages and those of Germanic languages often build countries neighbouring each other.
Examples: The U.S.A. and Mexico, and France and Germany.

The United States has been constantly involved in wars, either here or there in the world.
Is the top country, whichever it be, destined, or doomed, if you will, to be a warlike state and bear the responsibilities of wars across the world?
